ITEM:

ITEM
#1 SPRING CREEK FEDERAL EMERGENCY AGENCY (FEMA) PHYSICAL MAP REVISION (PMR)
AND COUNTY FLOODPLAIN OVERLAY ZONE BOUNDARY AMENDEMENT: Mr. Tracy
provided background information on the request to amend the Larimer County
Floodplain Overlay Zone District boundary as a result of FEMA Floodplain Map changes.
He explained that the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) were being updated
due to updated information and accompanying technical studies that were
completed for the Spring Creek Floodplain. Along with that update, previous
Letters of Map Revision (LOMR) needed to be formalized on new maps for Spring
Creek and small portions of the Boxelder Creek and Cache La Poudre LPath. Mr.
Tracy showed the changes to the floodplains, which were minimal outside of the
city limits. He also mentioned that no Larimer County structures were being
added to the floodplain as a result of the map update. He noted that public
outreach and public notice occurred regarding the issues.

Commissioner
Jensen asked what would occur if the maps were not adopted.

Mr. Tracy stated
that Larimer County would be suspended from the National Flood Insurance
Program, which would result in flood insurance not being available to property
owners county-wide, and a limitation on Federal financial assistance within a
Special Flood Hazard Area.

PUBLIC
TESTIMONY:

None.
